Bike riding:

We were slightly better this week and I could see that some parents have spoken with their children about their expectations for travelling to and from school.  Children can ride a bike well enough, but they have absolutely no awareness of or care for traffic and pedestrians.  Here are the school expectations for anyone who is riding their bike to and from school or walking to and from school.

1. Always push your bike from the crossings into the school when you are coming to school
2. Always push your bike as far as the crossings when you are riding home
3. Always wear a helmet (properly) every time you ride
4. Only bikes can be ridden to school. Scooters and skateboards cannot come to school.
5. Always be careful around pedestrians and give them space
6. Always cross the road at the designated crossings
7. Always store your bike in the bike shed (a lock is recommended)
8. Always go home the way your parents expect you to go

Pedestrians:

1. Always stay out of the car parks at school
2. Always stay off the road
3. Always use the crossings to cross the road (where they are available)
4. Always go home the way your parents expect you to go
5. Always be kind to our neighbours by:
   • Leaving their dogs alone
   • Leaving their properties and cars alone
